Pieropan Soave 2024
The Pieropan winery is in the heart of the Classico zone and dates back to 1890. Leonildo ‘Nino’ Pieropan, who sadly passed away in 2018, was the first to show the world just how great Garganega, and Italian white wine, can be. He recognised the importance of terroir early on, acquiring various hillside vineyards and expanding the prestigious Calvarino and La Rocca vineyards, first made as single vineyard crus in 1971 and 1978 respectively.
Today, sons Dario (winemaker) and Andrea (viticulturist) continue the family tradition. The brothers have converted all of their vineyards to organic and are overseeing the new winery being built amongst the vineyards just outside the village. Made mostly from Garganega grapes with the inclusion of 15% Trebbiano di Soave. Bright pale straw colour with a subtle tinge of green around the outskirts and a watery hue. Aromas of fresh pear mingle with green apple, lime and wet stone notes. Adorning the palate are tasty delicately spiced pear, lime and green apple fruits which have a lovely rounded pebble stone like feel. Good intensity finishing dry with slatey mineral like infusions on the crisp aftertaste.
